I don't consider myself a "techie" - but a little more knowledgeable than the average cell user. I know what I want from a phone, and WM7S is NOT it.

simply because I know very little about backwards compatability, is it really that hard to attempt at making it compatable or do you have to be a genius at binary for it to work?

meizu runs on a similar core that wp7 runs on. And you better believe many apps for ce 5.2 have been ported (keyboards, games, programs)
I don't think the lack of backward compatibility will impede me. What does is the biggest gain windows phone has over apple and its ability to do anything conceivable if you have knowledge. To what extent can phones be modified or even tweaked to improve performance? Well I think it looks like we have to wait for xda developers for an answer to that

Everyone wait....MIX 2010 all the details will come (about 3 weeks). So far for me, it's a love/hate thing. One part, I kind of like how apps will be part of the OS just not 3rd party apps but, on the other side, the 1500 current WM apps wont' run ? WTF...

Time will tell... I have so much invested in games and apps, I know some won't work but, I would expect any program that runs on it's own would be able to work...

what do you mean a program that runs on its own? a program may be able to run independent of anything else but if the underlying framework in the operating system has been completely rewritten they won't necessarily work, unless MS builds in some sort of backwards compatibility and I thought it leaked somewhere a while ago that MS said "clean break in every possible way"
